This was a wonderful historical fiction, set in the 1853 on the Oregon trail Naomi a recent young widow travels with her family to California to start a new life. John who is part Pawnee and part white called a two foot is a mule handler and decides to take this trip and the adventure begins. If anyone like 1883 the prequel to Yellowstone you would like this book. Also some of the characters are based on true people.I will read this author again

This a was a good fantasy that kept me engaged from the beginning, I always struggle with first in series but this one got from the beginning I will definitely continue the series

Set in Vermont this is a creepy story with dual time lines from early 1900 to current time, a mystery that unravels a story about a woman and a diary that alters lives in the past and present. It was just ok for me

This was a interesting dark fantasy about magic ,I enjoyed it but the ending makes you have to go to the next book to really enjoy the whole story
My only book read for #20in4 readathon but I was glad to have finished in about six hours or so

It‘s been a busy summer , unpopular opinion but I loved the humid rainy summer, I will definitely participate in #20in4
My books will be One Dark Window by Racheal Gillig
And Winter people by Jennifer McMahon
I have my grandchildren this weekend so two books is my goal and that‘s ambitious ha

Set in England,three woman in there late sixties early seventies all in different life situations decide to take a trip to Italy in a camper to find long lost relatives of of one of the the woman.it‘s a fun, adventurous trip meeting many different people and having wonderful experiences along the way with a dash of drama! Great fun

I love Elin Hilderbrand and her fun summer books, filled with drama but also lavish descriptions that sucked me in !

I really enjoyed getting to know Masie how she started out and all the characters that helped shape her life. So sad all the descriptions of the war and how it changed and effected so many lives including Masies. I will definitely be reading more in this series

A dark story of obsession with lush descriptions, this was moody and gothic

This was a epic fantasy you cannot rush through , I took my time to read this massive book of 846 pages
I did enjoy all the different characters but you need to pay attention.the writing was descriptive and the world building was awesome and such diversity was just well done !

#wondrouswednesday

This was so-so pick for me I thought it got better towards the end

#JoysofJune readathon
1.finished The Measure
2.3/4 done with Song of The Forever Rains about 2 hours left
Thanks @Andrew65

This was an interesting,thought provoking book and I really enjoyed the writing and the creativity. I was invested in all the characters and their stories ❤️I also liked how the author put a spin on how politics played a big role in this story and I felt like there were messages of how politics can create division under times of uncertainty
Book 1 of #JoysofJune readathon

Wow it‘s that time of the month 😳definitely participating in #joysofJune readathon
My list is The Measure by Nikki Erlick
It‘s a toss up between Personal Librarian and Hang the Moon I also have Song of the Forever Rains, but this is ambitious 😂

Fun fantasy different and creative loved the way the author arranged the story.Violet the main character tells you the history and the world building through her voice she recited these facts when she‘s nervous,she has always thought she would be a scribe but trains to be a rider.loved that it was not 1000 pages and there wasn‘t a lot of baseless dialog to fill pages it did read a little more YA then adult but doesn‘t take away from the story ❤️

Well I finished the last 15 chapters in Ash and the Star Cursed King and read 13 chapters in Fourth Wing I exceeded my goal of 20 chapters #20in4
Thanks @Andrew65

I forgot to add finishing this book to my list for #20in4
I read the last 1/4 of this book and finally finished and in my previous review of the first book I did a so/so and I actually liked them both fun romance fantasy this one was a little slower in parts but all in all I enjoyed it and will continue when the next book comes out next year 🤷🏼‍♀️

My goal is as much reading as possible hopefully 20 hours, have a few parties this weekend 🎉
Books I will be reading
1. Fourth wing
2. The measure #24in4 #readathon

This was a good story ,it‘s easy to forget how far women have come in society, really good messages and a nice ending just a little too long!

Beautiful! I follow lulumoonowlbooks on Instagram she has many beautiful images with books, libraries reading spaces😍

Read the book a few years back and was on the fence but listened to the audiobook and wow was so much better, this book isn‘t for everyone it‘s a complex , descriptive sci-fi Fantasy collaboration that definitely pays off !

Well this picture sums up my life as a nana since my grand babies moved closer 😂 I did not finish a book for #magnificentmay , but made good progress 70% on my Gideon the Ninth audio , 51% on Lessons in Chemistry and 54% The Ashes and the Star Cursed King so not bad !

Plan giving it a go, I need to finish Gideon the Ninth in audio and the the ashes and the star cursed king and at least start Lessons in Chemistry #magnificentmay

So I just bought this 🙌 I wish I did the pre order sale from B&N but it was worth the splurge!

I have been part reading slump part busy.
I have read Gideon before but the audio is much better, and I wasn‘t going to continue the Nightborn series,and here I am on chapter 14 ,I do like this story , I just am not a fan of the whole vampire thing 🤷🏼‍♀️
26 chapters read for 20in4 hopefully by the end of the day I will get a few more done

A adventures retelling of Beauty and the Beast , I enjoyed it

This was a tough read 1930 Lilly a young girl is locked in the attic by her mother and father for not being “ normal” this has a lot of trigger warnings , but I thought it was well written I enjoyed the duel story lines and the mystery behind it kept me intrigued

Dark fantasy, entertaining fast paced but another witch , vampire story 🧙🏻‍♂️🧛🏻‍♂️

This was a fast paced novella Lilith wants to help her sister and town cursed with a plaque from their god, she‘s a scientist at heart and will try anything to save the people she loves even befriending a vampire

This was a long involved dark book, but I enjoyed the way Tartt writes I was completely submerged in the atmosphere and the characters as dark and flawed as they all were
